First of all, do you know what is hedge fund?
If you are asking question here implies that you are novice.
In that case, stay away from it.
I assume you do not have 7 figures savings to invest.

No way, Jose!
I was just reading how a Structured Investment Vehicle (SIV) called Gordian Knot just about wrecked the international credit markets. Citibank, BofA, and Morgan Chase had to cough up over $100 billion to try to reintroduce some cushioning stability. Gordian Knot learned from the Lont-Term Capital Management hedge collapse, but came to the edge of something bigger and worse. I got to see inside of a hedge recently and it was merely a pile of money in some stock futures spreads, all the money was in financial derivatives. Naw, it sounds too much racing a car while steering on the front bumper.

Hedge funds can be a great investment vehicle but they are only for qualified investors who have over $1M in assets and they usually are just used as part of a larger portfolio.
I have written over 100 articles on hedge funds if you would like to read more about them on my blog you can find it through my personal website at

Yes. (If you have at least $1,000,000.00 KWD)
